Story
Meet Goblin 🖤 Goblin is a 9-month-old American Pit Bull Terrier (or mix) with the kind of sweet, soulful eyes that make everyone feel instantly loved. This handsome young guy is neutered, healthy, and fully up to date on vaccines—ready to head home with his forever family. Goblin loves people and soaks up attention wherever he goes. He’s a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs and would absolutely thrive with a playful canine buddy. He’s also good with cats when introduced properly, and does well with kids, though older ones that he can around with may be best. True to his puppy status, Goblin is still learning—but he’s a quick study and eager to please. Offer him treats or affection and he’ll happily show off how smart he is. He loves a good game of tug, enjoys playtime, and then is more than happy to settle in for cuddles. When it’s time to relax, this boy turns into a total snugglebug. Goblin is well behaved for his age, affectionate, and full of love. A fenced yard would be ideal for him so he can safely burn off energy and enjoy outdoor playtime. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will look at you like you’re his whole world, Goblin might just be your perfect match. His heart is big, his cuddles are top-tier, and he’s ready to give all his love to the right home. The adoption fee for Goblin is $450. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue. If you would like to meet Goblin please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt. We will review your responses and be in contact to schedule a meet and greet at a time and place convenient for your family and our team members.

Story
Meet Noggin. Every morning, Noggin wakes up like it’s the best day of his life. The moment his crate door opens, this beefy, block-headed sweetheart springs into action — straight to the back door, ready to run the yard with his foster sibling and make sure everything is exactly as it should be. Perimeter check? Complete. Zoomies? Absolutely necessary. At 4 years old, this Pitbull boy has that perfect blend of playful energy and grown-up manners. He lives peacefully with another dog and truly enjoys having a buddy to romp with. He loves walks (rain included — weather is not a valid excuse in Noggin’s world), chewing on a good bone, and stretching his legs outside. But here’s the part about Noggin that really steals hearts. He has spent time around young grandchildren — including a busy two-year-old. He enjoyed their love, but excused himself when the excited play became too much for him. Inside the home, he’s wonderfully well-mannered. Housebroken? Yes. Crate trained? Completely. Tell him “go to your crate,” and he walks right in and settles down. He knows “sit” and “down,” and if he’s not too excited, he’ll even offer you a paw. He’s currently working on “leave it” and tightening up his leash skills — because he gets very excited when it’s time to go explore. And if you happen to be petting another dog? Don’t be surprised if Noggin quietly scoots in between you. Not in a pushy way — just in a soft, “Hi, I love you too” kind of way. He doesn’t want to compete. He just wants to belong. After the yard runs are done and the excitement settles, Noggin melts into the sweetest snuggle buddy. He leans in. He stays close. He soaks up affection like he’s been saving space for it his whole life. Noggin isn’t just looking for a home. He’s looking for his people — the ones he can run with, walk beside (rain or shine), and curl up next to at the end of the day. If you’re ready for a loyal shadow with a big head and an even bigger heart, Noggin is ready to meet you. 🐾💙 The adoption fee for Noggin is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue. If you would like to meet Noggin please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Wilson! This around 2-year-old beagle mix with a suspiciously curly tail (what breed is that?!) comes with all the best features: house-broken, crate trained (with minimal treat-based bribery required), excellent leash manners, and a personality that's 50% snuggle bug, 50% class clown. He's mastered "sit," is working on his "stay" certification, and comes when called like the good boy he is. Wilson's Resume: • Social Skills: A+ with other dogs (playful but respectful), great with humans, has enjoyed children, TBD on cats • Special Talents: Perfecting the art of taking up an entire couch, and unleashing the most hilarious beagle howl when he's outside • Quirks: Believes personal space is a myth. Will attempt to merge with you on the couch. Consider yourself warned. What Wilson Wants: He’ll adapt to whatever living situation comes with his favorite thing: YOU. Seriously, this boy just wants to be near his humans, whether that means shadowing you around the house or becoming a living blanket. If you're ready for a loyal, intelligent, cuddle monster, Wilson is the dog for you! The adoption fee for Wilson is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue.
